About This Software What is it?Arcane Mapper is a mapping tool designed for Digital or Virtual Tabletops and printing for physical play. Put together high quality maps for D&D, Pathfinder, GURPS, Hero or any other Pencil and Paper RPG system - whether on the table top or virtual. It features a simple to use interface for drawing out rooms, adding objects and adding atmosphere with high quality lighting. Ideal for dungeons and interiors with support for outdoor environments coming before the full release.What is the idea?Arcane Mapper is an easy to use tool for creating maps for roleplaying games. The tool can produce top down, forced perspective 3D looking environments that mesh well with simple images for objects - no modeling or 3D experience required. With free assets available for private use on the internet, this software allows you to put together high quality maps for your games with less effort, without constraining you to predefined map pieces, tiles or limited assets. Easily render out high quality images for Virtual Tabletop games or print out maps for a physical tabletop game. Even save out .PSD files that preserve the layers for Photoshop if you are more artistically inclined.Longer term after the initial release, I am planning on adding Digital Desktop and possibly Virtual Desktop features with high quality real time lighting and fog of war with an easy to use interface for GMs and players.What editing and mapping features does the software support? Rendering high quality images (such as JPG, PNG, PSD) for use with Virtual Tabletops such as Roll20. Printing high quality images from your maps for Physical Tabletop play. Drag and Drop images directly onto your map, drop folders or selected files to add many images at once to your Library. The ability to import and export libraries where assets are already setup with scaling, lighting and shadow settings. Easy to use interface for adding objects to your maps, scaling, moving, rotating and placing them rapidly. Supports a full set of configurable hot keys. Full undo and redo support. Layers to organize objects and environments with the ability to decide which layers cast shadows and are affected by lighting. Draw arbitrarily shaped rooms and easily connect them together. Each room can have its own settings, textures and look. Draw pits, lowered sections, stairs and raised platforms right into your rooms. Procedural liquids to fill your pits and help you create sewers and water ways. Procedural details such as dirt, mold and spider webs. High quality lighting with soft shadows, any object can be a light and any object can cast shadows. High quality ambient occlusion to ground your objects in the map. Seamless exterior and interior maps with layers to support roofs. Multiple maps in one - see maps below the current map with fading or fogging - to give large buildings and dungeons a sense of depth.What systems does this support GPU that supports OpenGL 3.0 or newer Windows Vista, 7, 8, 10. Memory requirements based on art and map size, recommended 4GB or more.What about Mac and Linux?These depend on the demand and interest in the product. Ultimately supporting another platform is time consuming and so can only be done if there is enough interest. 7aa9394dea Title: Arcane MapperGenre: Design & Illustration, Early AccessDeveloper:Arcane ArchitectPublisher:Arcane ArchitectRelease Date: 28 Apr, 2017 Arcane Mapper Download] [Keygen] A rocky start, but now we're live, folks! The program offers everything it suggests in the videos, and should do so for both Nvidia and AMD cards now. The developer has been very willing to work with his customers to make this tool more accessible from the start.My prior review had detailed a few bugs that are no longer present, and a few misconceptions that have since been answered. (rather quickly, too!) While the program is still fairly simple, this only gives it a starting point to grow in a ton of directions that I can't wait to see.If you're new to GMing tabletops, this is a great tool work with; No need to learn layer masking or any other image editing software unless you want post editing. You can simply draw your map, choose your textures dynamically (meaning no constant editing to see how different walls and floors work together), and then light it up. It's all very hands on, and doesn't feel overwhelming or technical, despite the power it gives you. No more drawing boxes in MS Paint. Get that♥♥♥♥♥♥outta here.Now, as it currently stands, most WILL want to work with their maps they export from here in post, if they want things like texture fading between floors,outdoor elements, etc. But, again, this is clearly a work in progress that I can only imagine the dev(s) are working feverishly to further.Should you pick it up? If you're new to mapmaking, definitely. If you've been doing it for a while and already have a grasp on image manipulation, probably not YET, but if you want a quick way to get a clean, easy-to-work-with base for more complex maps, this is it. I've been GMing tabletops for over a decade and this has already been helpful in making quick maps on the fly.. Abandoned Software, only purchase if you are satisfied as is with the product. I see a lot of promise for this title. There are many positive aspects about it. It is a very clean interface, with rich and detailed options available. I would certainly recommend it to others. However, I do have a few suggestions. First, I don't see an option to place doors or windows. The current set up requires that you connect rooms via small hallways. Second, the only lighting elements found were torches, sconces, and braziers. What about natural lighting? Third, not every dungeon/castle/building is going to be 100% intact, so could there be some sort of demolish tool where we could create ruins? Fourth, it could use stairs to connect to multiple levels in the same dungeon. Fifth and finally, I'm hoping to see either an expanded doodad library (such as furniture or random things that can be placed in rooms) or at least more DLC stuff boasting the same things. Having said all this, I still rate the product 4/5 stars due to the high quality.. WHERE HAS THIS BEEN ALL MY LIFE!?. Epic! just one thing is there a way to delete a texture that was added with out reinstalling the program (that ws the only solution i could find)?Keep uo the great work!. Edit: I was initially disappointed upon first trying this out, but I'm changing my review. My main issue was that I didn't understand where the props and room features were. The developer responded to me VERY quickly, and told me to simply drag and drop assets into the program. And wow, that alone made this VERY easy to use! A quick google search for the image you need, download, and then drag it right into your dungeon. It's still early access, but I'm really looking forward to future developments with this!. Had a lot of potential. Too bad it's dead.
